shoots
Hi there,
In the following sentences, it's hardly to catch the meaning of the word 'the shoots'.
What would be the best probable meaning do you think?
If any idea comes up, would you tell me some?
Thanks,

Vail Mountain has more than 5200 skiable acres, 193 trails and extraordinarily high prices. But if you have never skied Colorado it’s worth paying the extra bucks to ski here, especially on a fresh powder day. Experts will go gaga over the shoots, tree glades and wide open back bowls, but other ability levels are well taken care of, too.
--------------------------
ps: I have already asked a help for this one and someone tried to help find the definition but to be sorry for him, still it doesn't seem to make sense to me.
So would you again take a look at them and let me know anything that occures to you?
Located less than two hours from Denver, unpretentious Winter Park is a favourite ski resort with Front Rangers, who flock here from as far as Colorado Springs to ski fresh tracks each weekend. Beginners can frolic on miles of powdery groomers while experts test their skills on Mary Jane’s world-class bumps.
